Cryptolabis tasmanica Alexander, 1926: 178 View in CoL .

Baeoura tasmanica ( Alexander, 1926) .– Alexander, 1978: 170.

Material examined. Tasmania: Holotype ♂, Australia, Tasmania , Burnie, January 31, 1923, A. Tonnoir ( ANIC); only thorax, 1 leg, 1 wing, base of abdomen and badly damaged slide on the pin left; 1♀ (paratype), same data as holotype ( ANIC); 1♀ (allotype), Tasmania, Geeveston, December 7, 1922, A. Tonnoir ( ANIC).

From the original description of Cryptolabis tasmanica Alexander, 1926 . “Venation: m-cu less than its length beyond the fork of M” ( Fig. 23 View Figures 23, 24 ). “Hypopygium: Dististyle (d) entirely fleshy, not at all produced into a spine, provided with conspicuous setae that are larger and more striking at the apex. Basistyle (b) very broad, the mesal apical angle with two dense groups of setae. The spinous structure in

tonnoiri that was suggested as possibly being tergal is here represented by a massive, roughly quadrate structure (t?), the caudal margin truncated and microscopically serrulate. The phallosome (p) is less elongate, more bulbous at base, the apex not conspicuously blackened, the basal bars slender and widely divergent” ( Fig. 24 View Figures 23, 24 ).

Theischinger et al.: Ozeoura a new genus of tipulid fly 455 Discussion. Differences between males of Ozeoura convoluta , O. hemmingseni , O. tasmanica and O. tonnoiri are described above, under O. convoluta . The characters most useful for the identification of male O. tasmanica are the massive truncate aedeagal guide together with very simple, apically rounded gonostyli. Ozeoura tasmanica is apparently restricted to Tasmania.
